A. Pictures Plus is a locally owned and operated company with 5 locations in Hawaii, that specializes in customizable products, including custom frames and prints. Our goal is to provide easy and affordable custom print solutions for the modern digital age.

A. When you print with us, you're supporting a local business in Hawaii, made up of over 100 dedicated employees who care about our customers and the artists we work with. Every print is cut, pressed and framed by us. We've implemented strict quality control checks throughout the manufacturing process to ensure you're getting the best possible end product. It's backed by our Pictures Plus guarantee-love it or we'll make it right! Over the years, our customers have come to expect the very best from us, and we're committed to delivering on that promise every single time.

A. Metal prints start at 4" x 6" and can be printed in any custom size up to 60" x 35". Canvas prints start at 8" x 10" and can be printed in any custom size up to 54" x 120" (Please contact us to order canvas prints larger than what the website will allow). The printed products in our "Gifts" category are available in standard sizes only.

A. Don't worry! We offer custom sizes! If you don't see the size option you want, scroll down and check the "Custom Size" box. The dropbox will automatically calcualte width and height in one inch increments, up to the largest size that your image resolution can support. If you are not able to select from standard sizes, it is most likely because your image is insufficent resolution to print at that size.

A. We strive for accuracy in all printed images. However, there may be color variations due to differences in computer monitors. Our wood veneer frames also vary from piece to piece due to inherent differences in wood grain. This is considered a natural characteristic of wood and is not considered a product defect.

Please note: Due to the nature of metal print products, minor surface imperfections such as bubbles or bumps may appear on the surface of the print. We will make every effort to place the image so any imperfections are as inconspicuous as possible. Minor imperfections in the product's surface are considered industry-standard and may not warrant a replacement.

A. The following image formats are accepted: JPG, TIFF, PDF, PNG, GIF, BMP, ICO, SVG, EPS, PSD, WebP. Any image with layers, such as PSD, must be flattened before uploading.

A. Image files can vary greatly depending on a number of factors. Image quality should be assessed based on the pixels rather than the file size or format. Generally, any image with pixel dimensions in the thousands should be sufficient to print, while images with pixel dimesions in the hundreds will have poor print quality. To confirm pixel dimensions, right click the image file, select "Properties," and view pixel dimensions in the "Details" tab. If you're unsure whether your image will be adequate for printing, upload it to the image uploader on our website. Any size that will not print sufficiently will be automaically removed from your selection options.

A. Canvas is a great medium for printing large sizes. Given its texture, it has a high tolerance for imperfections and is typically viewed from further away than a photo, which allows for stunning prints to be produced from moderately sized files.

Metal prints produce glossy images with rich colors and incredible sharpness. As a result, metal prints require image files that are larger in relation to printed output than that of canvas.

We use Chromaluxe aluminum, proudly produced in the USA and tested to last longer than all other competing products currently on the market.
